Despite dropping two points at home to lowly Port Talbot, Prestatyn’s director of football Neil Gibson was not overly disappointed with Saturday’s outcome at Bastion Gardens.

The Seasiders could have been out of sight by half time, Lee Hunt having an early penalty saved before Gibson and Andy Parkinson went close.

“Before the game, we’d have seen a 0-0 draw as two points dropped,” said Gibson.

“But although we controlled the first half, they had the better of the second and I think to call it two points dropped after the game would be disrespectful to the league, as despite their current position, Port Talbot are a very good side.

“You only had to look at the fact that they brought on Rhys Griffiths as a substitute in the second half as evidence of what a strong squad they’ve got.”

The hosts had a great opportunity to take an eighth minute lead when Parkinson was adjudged to have been fouled in the box, but Hunt’s penalty was kept out by Steven Hall.

“It was one of those penalties where if the keeper goes the wrong way it’s a good penalty, but on this occasion he went the right way,” Gibson added.

“There will certainly be no blame attached to Lee. He’s scored a good few goals for us this season and he’ll score more in the future no doubt.

“It was a game of two halves really – we controlled the first half and they were the better team in the second. It’s another clean sheet and another point which keeps us in fifth place.”

In difficult conditions, Port upped their game in the second half and Town were indebted to keeper Dave Roberts for a wonder-save.
